In 1996, von Hirschhausen started writing, mainly for Focus and Der Tagesspiegel. His first appearance on television is believed to have been as a guest contestant performing magic tricks in Jürgen von der Lippe‘s show Geld oder Liebe (‘Money or Love’).[2] From 1998 to 2003, he hosted the weekly health advisory show Service: Gesundheit (‘Service: Health’) on Hessischer Rundfunk Television. Since 2004 he has been a weekly contributor to Stern: Sprechstunde (“Stern: Consultation Hour”): his column is called Die Etwas Andere Medizinkolumne (“The Somewhat Different Medicine Column”).[3]
Since the mid-1990s, von Hirschhausen has performed as a stand-up comedian, show host and magician in variety. He is also a cabaret artist performing his own, and other, cabaret programmes. He was a guest artist in Berlin, in London and at the Cologne Comedy Festival 1997. Hirschhausen was also a member of the panels of contributors to the Knoff-Hoff-Show on ZDF and 7 Tage, 7 Köpfe (‘7 days, 7 heads’) on RTL. Since 21 January 2004, he has been answering viewers’ questions in his column Dr. von Hirschhausen wills wissen (‘Dr. von Hirschhausen wants to know’) in the scientific television show W wie Wissen (‘K for Knowledge’) on ARD. In Hirschhausens Wissensbisse (‘Hirschhausen’s knowledge-bites’) he also presents strange news and facts from the world of scientific research.[4] Hirschhausen is a regular on the cabaret show Ottis Schlachthof (‘Otti’s Slaughterhouse’) on Bayerisches Fernsehen and Quatsch Comedy Club on Pro Sieben.[5] In 2007, he was a frequent guest on the ARD show ‘Schmidt and Pocher’.

They both focus on the doctor-patient relationship, while von Hirschhausen specifically points out the inability and unwillingness of professionals in his field to express themselves clearly. He also focuses on the typical routines and rituals which, when separated from the professional environment, appear comical and absurd.
Since 1995 Hirschhausen is member of Magischer Zirkel von Deutschland. in competitions he won 1st and 2nd prizes and founded a “Think Theatre” with a mixture of comedy and magic.

Hans Alex Keilson (Dutch pronunciation: [ɦɑns ˈkɛilsɔn]; 12 December 1909 – 31 May 2011)[1] was a German-Dutch novelist, poet, psychoanalyst and child psychologist. He was best known for his novels set during the Second World War, during which he was an active member of the Dutch resistance.
Keilson, having worked with traumatized orphans, mainly wrote about traumas induced by the war. His first novel was published in 1934, but most of his works were published after the war. In 2010, The New York Times ‘s Francine Prose described Keilson as “one of the world’s greatest writers”, notably honouring Keilson’s achievements in the year in which he turned 101 years old




… this is Hans Keilson with thecover of his new double edition: His entire work in two big volumes .
Listen to an interview with him: http://www.exil-archiv.de/audio/keilson/keilson.mp3
Born in Germany in 1909, he published his first novel Das Leben geht weiter (Life goes on) in 1933, shortly before his emigration to the Netherlands. In 1943 he went underground and worked as a doctor and courier for the resistance group Vrije Groepen Amsterdam.

Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒuseˈlinu kubiˈʃɛk(i) dʒi oliˈve(j)ɾɐ]; 12 September 1902 – 22 August 1976), also known by his initials JK, was a prominent Brazilian politician who served as the 21st president of Brazil from 1956 to 1961. Kubitschek’s government plan, dubbed “50 years in 5”, was centered on economic and social development. During his term the country experienced a period of notable economic growth and relative political stability. However, there was also a significant increase in external debt, inflation, income concentration and wage erosion. At the time, there was no re-election and, on 31 January 1961, he was succeeded by Jânio Quadros, supported by the UDN. Kubitschek is best known for the construction of Brazil’s new capital: Brasília, which was inaugurated on 21 April 1960, replacing Rio de Janeiro.

Kubitschek was born in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, in 1902. His father, João César de Oliveira, died when he was only two years old. JK completed the humanities course at the Diamantina Seminary and moved to Belo Horizonte in 1920. In 1927, he graduated in medicine from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), and in 1930 he specialized in urology in Paris. In December 1931, he married Sarah Lemos, with whom he had a daughter, Márcia, in 1943. The couple also adopted Maria Estela in 1947. In 1931, Kubitschek joined the Public Force of Minas Gerais as a doctor. During this period, he served on the Constitutionalist Revolution and became friends with politician Benedito Valadares who, upon being appointed federal intervenor in 1933, appointed Kubitschek as his chief of staff. In 1934, Kubitschek was elected federal deputy, but his term was revoked during the Estado Novo coup. With the loss of his term, Kubitschek returned to medicine. In 1940, he was appointed mayor of Belo Horizonte by Valadares, remaining in this position until October 1945. At the end of the same year he was elected constituent deputy for the Social Democratic Party (PSD). In 1950, he defeated Bias Fortes in the PSD caucuses to choose the party’s candidate for that year’s gubernatorial election in Minas Gerais. In the election, he defeated his brother-in-law Gabriel Passos and was sworn in as governor on 31 January 1951. As governor, he created the Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais, and also prioritized road building and industrialization.

DOCTORS DIVERSIONS: Chugging along with eye-surgeon from City of St. John’s/New Foundland!
Since he has worked with steam not only on rails we call him SteamDoc AND RailDoc….

Dear Mr. Ellenberger,
I am enclosing some pictures of some of the models I have built over several years. Unfortunately, I do not have too many “action” photos, but these will perhaps give you some idea of what I do.
I built my first steamboat model at age nine. I have always ‘made’ things! From childhood I built boats. As a teenager during the war, I built model aeroplanes. Then after the war, as a med student, I bought my first lathe and built a small workshop in the cellar of our house. I produced several small engines for boats and then started my first locomotive – “Virginia” (American standard 4-4-0), seen in the workshop photo with the unfinished Duchess”.

Following a stint in the R.A.F. at Wegberg, I did more work on Virginia and then emigrated to Canada where Virginia was completed in 1962. During this time I also made a steam yacht which now occupies a glass case I my office.
Following the completion of Virginia, I made several other things – a launch engine for a three-meter boat, a stationary beam, and with the help of the kids – I started building a railway track round the garden. About this time, I also began building the Duchess (completed in 1981) which took nine years to construct. However, as it was a major undertaking to get her onto the track, being so heavy (200 kilos); I commenced “Jane”, a green dock tank engine which you can see with one of my sons and his wife near the water tower on the photo.

Jane was built in two years and as she only weighs 60k, she is easy to get onto the track and very happy with a load of six adults. (I imported my Welsh steam coal – half a ton – from the U.K. many years ago, so I’m O.K. for a good bit yet!) In the meantime, a traction engine was built in the nineties together with several other odds and ends.
During my years in Newfoundland, the workshop has been considerably enlarged and has welding (gas and electric), milling, shaping, and a new Myford lathe acquired in 1965. I also have a cutter grinder and various woodworking tools – both hand and machine.
Living in the land of snow and ice, I also have a caterpillar tractor to clear the snow. This rather large beastie requires maintenance at times. As well, I have several automobile projects as I was also engaged in motor sport locally and inter-provincially. I was a national steward for several years.
So now, I’m having to sit back on my laurels at the age of 78 with a total hip replacement and spinal stenosis! I hope this gives you some idea of what a “model engineer” does!
My late wife was once asked, “And what do you do?” Her reply was, “I bask in my husband’s reflected glory!” She was however, an excellent nurse and mother and a literary genius!
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Peter Lockwood
P.S. I also paint and have exhibited and sold some of my artwork. I play jazz
piano too. J

Swimming has show events less than other sport disciplines. Otherwise I would make my swimming rounds more often for sure.
But seriously: Of course I do make sport, I do jogging three to five times a week or go riding mountainbike. After a career in top
sport this is a necessity as everybody knows. It is a good compensation for stress in the profession as a medical doctor and thus
gives good support to it.
Apart from that it means living a good example for the patients.

I became invovled in pyrotechnics 15 years ago, when my son was eight years old. He was very interested in fireworks and had read every book in the local library dealing with the topic. I contacted a fireworks display operator where we lived and explained my son’s interest. He welcomed us to tour his shooting area at our July Fourth city celebration. My son was electronically gifted and he assisted with the wiring at the control panel while I learned about the hard work.

Years later, my son and I are licensed display operators and still shoot several shows together each year, assisting those who own their own companies. All our shows are fired electronically, and many include music with which the show is synchronized using computer programs.
Thomas J. Poulton, M.D., USA
Thomas Poulton:
I’ll see if my son has any cool foreworks photos to send along. If you visit the Tora website and read it, you will learn that the program is a pro-peace platform which does not glorify war, but rather emphasizes how everyone loses when war occurs. I would encourage you to reevaluate keeping the link, but it is your website.
Wolfgang Ellenberger:
Tom, thank you for this argument, so here is your original sentence:
